If you're an avid reader, this is definitely one to check out! Kathy Tong's debut book, Not-Quite-Supermodel has launched today on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple iBooks, and Chapters.
If you've been following Kathy on social media, you may have heard mentions of a potential book in the works for the past few years, it's been her goal to write and publish her own story and we're so excited that today that dream becomes reality. In addition to being a published author, you may also recognise her from some of her previous work as a model and spokesperson for a number of make-up and fashion brands worldwide, but also as the actor behind the lovely but deadly Mona Sax from Max Payne II: The Fall of Max Payne. She's a lady with many hats!
As a model, her first book is something that is close to her passions and her experiences and slightly autobiographical in many ways. Still, it is a work of fiction and follows the adventures of Alex, a newly-aspiring model who moves to New York after encountering a model scout at her previous job.
We're very excited to get to read it!

Official Synopsis:
Alex Emmerson is painfully awkward, exquisitely unfashionable, and she’s never fit in anywhere. When a smooth-talking model scout discovers her slicing fish at a Canadian Safeway, she offers Alex the chance at a career she never knew she wanted.
Armed with a suitcase full of neuroses, Alex sets off to reinvent herself in the Big Apple. Buyer beware: it’s a runway to hell but perdition does have its perks.
Take a peek behind the glamour, and follow Alex’s laugh-out-loud exploits as she attempts to navigate New York’s high-adrenaline fashion scene. This self-deprecating narrative is a realistic portrayal of a model in the making.
Not-Quite-Supermodel captures how it feels to be young and on your own in New York City, with its limitless possibilities, dramatic highs and lows, and the sense of victory that comes from relentless perseverance.
